[Third PoV]
Around 7pm, Naruto heard a knock on his door.
"Huh? Has Jiji come at this time?"
Naruto opened his door, only to see a beautiful older girl, with pink hair, just like Sakura-chan!
"Hi Naruto. I am Sakura's older sister. Can I come in?"
"Sakura-chan's sister!? Wait a minute!"
And he shut the door.
'My room is messy!'
He quickly cleared all the things, and shoved them below his bed.
"Come in!"
He opened the door with a bright smile, then suddenly froze.
'Did she come here to scold me to stay away from Sakura-chan!?'
"Quite the opposite actually. Take a seat, I am here to talk about something important."
'Did she just read my mind!?'
"I am not a Yamanaka. Sit down."
Cautious, Naruto sat down on the bed.
"I heard that you like Sakura?"
"Y-yes!"
"Why?"
"Umm, you know, she's pretty and strong!"
Sakura's sister stared at him, and he was getting more and more nervous. After a long period of awkward silence, she finally spoke.
"It looks like I forgot to introduce myself. I am Haruno Ichika, older sister of your classmate, Sakura. And I have come here to make a request."
"Request? From me!?"
"Yes. Only you can do it."
"Only I can do it?"
"Yes. I heard that you are Sasuke's rival?"
"As if! That duckbutt is no match for me!"
"Hahaha! Yes. Only you can do it. You see, she has a stupid crush on Sasuke Uchiha. She even broke her friendship with Ino over it.
But I know he is not a good person-"
"Hey! Sasuke may be a jerk, but he is a good person!"
"-to take care of Sakura. His clan was slaughter by his own brother when you guys were seven-eight. He is a broken kid. And not only that, Uchiha clan had all sorts of rumours going about them-"
"So what!? It's not like it's Sasuke's fault! And rumours are stupid!"
Naruto scowled at her. He has been suffering from rumours all his life, and it's not like it is Sasuke's fault that his brother went nuts and decided to kill everyone!
Seeing Naruto, Ichika smirked.
"So you are not stupid."
"Huh!? What's that supposed to mean!?"
"That means that you passed my personal test. You hate Sasuke, but not at the same time. And it is not irrational, but due to him beating you everytime. You are perfect for being Sakura's boyfriend."
"B-boyfriend!?"
"Here is my request. Become stronger and cooler than Sasuke. I don't want Sakura to be annoyingly obsessed with Sasuke. So if someone better than him comes into picture, I am sure that she will stop obsessing over him."
"But how!?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Academy will start one and a half month later. I will personally train you, and teach you everything so that girls swoon over you. So, will you accept my request?"
"Yes!"
"Good boy. You can call call me Ichika-nee-san. I will come to pick you up tomorrow at 10 am. And this, this is one of the books that I made to teach Sakura. Keep them safe. Try to understand the first chapter by then. And ah, you can show them to Hokage-sama. I will meet you tomorrow, okay?"
"Books are boring!"
"Because Academy books are trash, and outright uselessly disgusting for people who don't have interest in academics. I used these to teach 3 year old Sakura. I am sure that you can understand them."
"But-"
"Bye bye. I will meet you tomorrow."
Naruto wanted to protest, but Ichika's smile stopped him. Somehow, he got the idea that he shouldn't protest any further.
"Okay."
"Good night then."
And she left, leaving Naruto with the heavy book. While he was happy that she thought that he was perfect for Sakura's boyfriend, he hated books!
Grumbling, he went back inside his home. Well, it was the first time someone was going out of her way, to help him, so he can't disappoint her!
Plus, thinking about him being cooler and stronger than Sasuke brought him to cloud nine! He could just imagine Sasuke under his foot in shock when he defeated him!
"Kuahahaha!"
Meanwhile, as Ichika was returning home, an ANBU suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Hokage-sama has called you."
And he disappeared.
Ichika just casually shrugged her shoulders. She only thought,
'All according to the plan.'
